This :account was substantiated by several other respetta- hie members of the Synagogue, who said the Defeo - dant was a troublesome man. - In his defence he said it was a conspiracy against him, and that they had instructed their beadle not to suffer him to go to iris seat, though It was his own as well as the buolis in it. He complained that the beadle .had assaulted him, and that they had no right to fine him. . The Loan•MAYOR, atter hearing bath Sides, said be would not interfere with the regulations of their Church, but would bind th,e defendant to keep the -peace ) .as all places of wor4rip were proteded by the law from being disturbed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREE,T., OCT. 6.—The Vestry Clerk of St. Pancras Parish applied on behatt of the Parish Officers, for an arittiority tram the Magi strates, to possess themselves of certain chatters", the property of an unfortunate French Lady, the wife of Couirt Butler, who einig!ated bicker wnh her tinnily, during the horrors of the Revolution. The Count himself, who had enjoyed . a stipe&diary allowance, through the generosity of the British Go vernment, had returned to Fraoce during the laSt short interval of peace, in hopes of recovering some part of his property, and Ministers were pleas. 7 ll to dire.;t that his pension should be caltinued absence,. The length, however, of this absence, the uncertainty of his return, added to the embar rassment of _her' situation, so operated upon the mind of his Lady, as to cause a violent derangement, in the paroxysms of which she attempted the lives of children, The Parish Officers were induced to interfere, and take the unfortunate lady and,her chit dreu under their protection, and their objets •was to indemnity the parish from expellee, by taking pos sessiol of her chattels, as in cases of pauperism un der- the Poor Laws. To avoid this, an aged French Nobleman, the Mar quis pe la Faire, who professed to . be tile next of kin to this unfortunate family, had applied to the parish to hake those children placed under his care, a 5 also the properly, tor their advantage, and -he brought with Jilin -letters to the Mtigistrale trout the Bishop D'Anoulcise and -another French Bishop, fnlly accrediting hi; vreten:iions. Cott, N'T was of opinion, that-as no aCt of vagraticy appeared by any of the tatuk, the •Parish Othcers could not be warrfu:ed, under - the Poor Laws, to seize themselves of the chattels,' with out being liable to adion for the recovery there of, and be certainly could not Think of authorising them so to do by any warrant from the office, under hand and seal, awl thereby to assume the responsibi lity ‘vnich belonged to thctii. Besides, the ALrquis dc.: la Faire, their next of kin, very billy claimed the su i it rintelidance of those cinidren, obering to main , t an them. had-possibly two grounds; the one kindrtid affeaion,-and asense of their hereditary qua-, lity, and the hope of ; better foitic.e in other umies. And-at Other wound. was, his anxiety to have them bred Roman Catholics, and , the parish, *ad no chat tels been in the case, would hardly .hesitate to ac .cent his offer. • The parties then withdrew, tinder the inwiession that the claim of .Marquis de la Fair,e would be ay to; and as to the -pension ass;gned by Count ilutler to his fatuity, which was'also a part ot the ',lrish claim, the Al:GiArate observed, that it was ntile:y at the discretion of Government, and could ;lot he at:',.;ted by any authority of either :\tigistiate 0.1.. , LEN-SQUARE. -- YCS:erday .7:cvnes Start , 1 It p uahy ot 01. tor knowingly ha'r- Ueurge Brow u, a Priv:ite , in .t i i U ile:,nuent of koui, he . being 'a desetttr 1, hi ii!e. corps. • 14- .4 81T11,5 On Monday last. at Lcith lort, -the Lady of Prizadier— General La)e, coutn►aiui►ug the Royal Altdiety INl,irtil Britain, At a Dau4ittc.

Eery thing about this most eminent schotar, and partieulally the circumstances which laid the, foundation of that most inestimable Memory, by-Which he wasenabled to store his mind with all the riches of literature,.antientand modern, will become truly intoresting to the world. He owed this blessing to the care and judgment of his father, Mr. HuGem Pontoti, -;vlio was Parish-clerk-of East RuSton, and- whO - Otiongh in humble life, - .and with out the advantages himself of early education, laid the basis of his son's unparalleled acquirements. — From the earliest dawn of intellect, Mr. PORSON,be-; 0 - an the task of fixing,the.attention,of his childien; 'three sans and a daughter, -and. he- had taught Rt cft-a.ati, his eldest son, all the common rules of nrith metie, without the use of a book or slate, pen or pencil, up to the cube root, befOre he was nine years of age. The memory was thus incessmtly - exercised; and by this early habit of working a question in arithmetic by the mind only, he-at - quirk - A such s a ta lent of close and intense thinking; -and such a power of arranging evcry operation that occopied thought,. as ;t1 process , 4t titne to render the must ditiiciilt problems, which to other men required the assistance of. written figures; easy to the retentive tacithie,ot his memory.' -He was initiated in letters by a process equally efficacious. His father taught bleu to read and write at one and the same time. He drew the form of the letter either with chalk on a board, or with the finger in sand ; and litoultan vvas - Inade at once to understand and the im pression. As soon as he could speak be could trace the letters.; and this exercise delighting his fancy, an ardour of imitating whatever was put before him was excited to such a degree, that the walls of the ilioiAse , v ere co s ered with charaeters which attraated notice, from ,their neatness and fidelity of delineation. Ai nine years of age, he and his youngest brot heG, ILOMAS, Were Sept to the village. school, lsept•by a Mr. Sumnas, a plain but most intelligent and wor tly man, who having had the misfortune in infancy to cripple his left baud, ‘,; ,, is educated for the purpose of teaching, and be di. ! charged his duties with the most exemplary,attention.. He professed nothing teyond English, wilting, and arithmetic ; but he as a good accountant, and an excellent writing master. He perfetted the Professor in that delight- , ful talent of writing, in which he so peculiarly ex , celled; but which we are doubtful whether it was to; be considered as an advantage or a detriment to htin in -his progress through life. - It certainly had a considerable influence on his habits,- and made him devote many precious moments to copying, which might have been better employed in composition. It has been the means, however, of enriching his library with in a text the most beauti ful, and with such perfect imitation of the original manuscript or printing, as to etnbeWsh every work which his erudition enabled him' to elucidate. He ' continued under Mr. StqIMERS for three years and every evening during that time he. had. to repeat )y heart to ins father the lessons and the tasks of Me day ; and this not in a loose or desultory manner, but in the rigorpus order in-which whatever he had been occupied about had been done; and thus again the process of recollettion was cherished and strengthened, so as to become a quality of Iris mind. _lt was impossible that such a youth should remain unnoticed, even in a 'place so thinly peopled- and so obscure as the parish of East _Ruston. The-Rev. Mr. Hewitt heard of his extraordinary propensities to study, his gift of attention to whatever was taught and the wondei ful fidelity with which he -re tabled whatever he had acquired. Hit took bim . and his brother "l'Homas undo/. -his care, - and In strutted in the classics: Tim progress of both wai'great, outahat of RICHARD was most exiraor4l - It became the topic ut astonisiiment beyond the distrid, and when he had reached his fourteenth year, bad_engaged, the uotice of all the Gentlemen An the vicinity. Among others, he Was mentioned as a prochor au opulent and liberal man, the late Zylr. Noßms, who, after having put the youth under an examination of the severest kind, and . from w Wet an ordinary boy would have shrunk. dismayed, be was sent to Lion. This happened in the month of 1774, when • he was Jai his . lsth year : and i[2 Thal great seininary, be altuos;., now the cum -mencemeht of his Cartr,. dispiayed a' supevio- .

Ch.tinb , A,.and baler 'compoF,itions, both of seriousness and drollery, with a zest that the recoi lectiOn of his enjoyment at the time never fa-2,1 to revivein hint. We fear, hoWever, that at this early ao . e his constitution received 3 s' hock which was sooty after aggravated by 'the death of his worthy pa tron. An imposthume formed upon his inns, and be was threatened with a consumption. Bin it ,for Innately broke, and he recovered his health, though his frame was weakened. The death ofMr. NOtt ars_ was the source of severe mortiticat , on to him ; ',for though by the kindness of some eminent and liberal persons he was continued at Eton, be felt the loss he had sustained in thelnost poignant degree. .But we do not mean to do more than trace the dates of hiS progress to the Profes sor's Chair. Fie was entered of Trinity College tp . - watds the end of 1777, and his ehara6ter having gone before hiM to the University, he was from t=ie first regarded as a youth whose extraordinary e,.- doiNments would keep tip and extend the reputa tion of the unrivalled society into which he had entered. Nor did he disappoint the hopes that had been formed of him. Iu every branch of study to which he applied himself, his course was so rapt& as to astonish every competent observer. —By accidents, _he was drawn first to read in mathematics, in which, from his early exercises, he' was so eminently calculated to shine r but trout which he-drew no benefit ; and then by the prospect , of a scholarship, which, 'however, did not becoMe vacant till lung after,,a: sat do .v nto the Classics. In this pursuit-he'. soon acquired undisputed pre-emi nence. He g - .)t the medal of cow se, and was elected a Fellow in 1781. In 1785 he took his degree of Master Of Arts ;' but long netore the period had 'elapsed. when he must either enter irrto holy orders or surrender his lie had (after the most grave and delibet ate investigation, to •.vhich he had brou.glit all that kite gift of. examitLition' that has been made so perceptible in his letters to Mr. Arch deacon Alas) wade up his mind on the subjed Of subscription. So early as 1788, he had made up his mind to surrender his Fellowship, thou s h with an enfeebled constitution he had nothing to depend upon • hut acquirements that are very unprofitable to their owner. A Lly-fellowsliipto be sure might have secured his services to the 'cause of Letters ; but the disingenuous condud of an individual withheld from him that resource. In 4791 his Fellowship ceased, and he was thrown upon the world without a pro fession, feelings wounded by the wortiucations lie had suffered, and with a comtitution little qua- lified to encounter the bus,tle of the world. Sc;me private friends, however, stept in, and soon after. he was elected Greet.: Professor of Cambridge, by an unanimoui vote of the seven Eledars. The distineu tion of this appointment was grateful to him. Th 9 salary is but 401. a year. It was itis earnest wish, however, to have made it an aaive and efficient office, and it was his determivation to give an an nual course of Lectures in the College, if rooms bad been assigned to him .for the purpose. These Lec tures, as he designed, and had in truth made pre parations for them, would have been invaluable;' for he would hate found occasion to elucidate the languages in gi..neral,and to have displayed their re lations, their daferAces, their near and remote .con nexions, their changes, their structure, their 'princi ples of etymology, and their causes. of corruptioti. If any one man was qualified, torthis gigantic task,: it was Mr. Professor Poasosj and if his wishes had not been counteraCted, we know that he would have undertaken the labour. _ From this time, instead of le6tures, he turned his thoughts to publication. His Letterilo Mr. Arch deacon TRAVIS, as has ,been truly said, put the con troversy on the dispt\ted text to rest ; and indeed it a.vas the peCuliar felici!y of his . mind, that whatever he undertook to elucidate he fixed for ever in the On the establishmentof the London Institution, the Managers manifested their own di-cerement and love of letters, byseleCting him to be their principal Librarian, an appointment for which he was pecu liarly qualified, and if time and health .had been al lowed him, he would have made this Library truly valuable., His own, which he has been gradually colle6ting for thirty years, he has enriched by anno tations of such value and importance to literature, that we hope and trust the: wluile will be placet in his Own C011e, , ,e, that it may for ever be within the reach of those whom his erample may Arouse :to similar pursuits, though they may despair'ofreach- M y; equal attainments. Mr. .PORSON, as. we have stated before, has, for the last eleven years, been the incessant victim of spasmodic asthma, during the agony of which he never went to bed, and in which he was forced to abstain from all sustenance. This greatly debilitated his bokly ; and about a month ago be was afflicted by an intermittent fever ; he had an unfortunate jection to medical advice, and he resorted to , tiis usual remedy of abstinence ; but on Monday, the 19th ult. he suffered an ano.Acctic stroke, from which he recovered only to endure a Snood attack the next day. • -He languished to the Sunday night, and expired wino u; a struggle. • The body was.. ,opened by his medical men, and they have given a report, ascribing his death " to the effused lymph in and upon the brain, which they helier2 to have been the erica of recent inflammation. The, heart was sound, and the pericardium contained the usua' quantity of lymph. The lett lung had adhesions to the pleura, and bore the marks of former infiamma-, tion.
